Networking Cable EFB Elektronik EC020200116 50m Cat6a S/FTP Orange

The EFB Elektronik EC020200116 50m Cat6a S/FTP Orange networking cable is a shielded Ethernet cable designed for high-speed structured cabling. It conforms to the Cat6a category and features S/FTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference. The cable is terminated with RJ-45 connectors with gold plating and supports data transfer rates up to 10000 Mbit/s. The 50 m length and bright orange jacket make it suitable for longer runs and easy identification in patch panels, cable trays, or open installations.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding provides improved protection against crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference compared with unshielded cables. Cat6a specification supports higher bandwidth and reduced signal loss over longer distances than lower-category cables. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors offer reliable contact corrosion resistance and consistent signal transmission. The orange outer jacket improves visibility during installation and maintenance, helping to reduce identification errors in complex cabling environments.

Suitable for

• High-speed LAN backbones and horizontal runs up to 50 m
• Data centers and server rooms requiring shielded cabling
• Office networks where visual cable identification is needed
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference from nearby equipment

Key specifications

How to use

Route the cable through cable trays, conduits or along designated cable paths to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress. Terminate both ends into compatible RJ-45 ports on network devices or wall outlets designed for Cat6a performance. Ensure connectors are fully seated and strain relief is applied where appropriate. When running near sources of interference, maintain proper separation or use the cable’s shielding grounding method according to site grounding practices.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid bending the cable beyond its minimum bend radius and keep runs within recommended length limits. Verify grounding of shielded terminations at both ends to ensure effective EMI protection. Test installed links with a Cat6a-capable cable tester to confirm performance metrics such as bandwidth, attenuation and return loss.
